Hi Anne

I don't have an answer to your question, but from my reading of
correspondence files in PROV, I gather the government officials were
concerned about the selling of sly grog by people they considered to
be not respectable. Power of refusal seemed to rest with the local
police. The following may help from the PROV website outlining the
responsibilities of the Chief Secretary's office.

"LIQUOR LICENSING 1870-1979

Further research is required to clarify fully the references to
publicans' licences in the Chief Secretary's records. However it is
certain that from 1870 onwards Clerks of Courts forwarded to the Chief
Secretary lists of applicants approved by the Licensing Magistrates
for special leave to hold private dancing or theatrical concerts
within licensed premises.

Between 1907 and 1968 the Chief Secretary had administrative
responsibility for the Licences Reduction Board (VA 2906) a body
specially established to oversee the orderly reduction of hotel
licences in Victoria. Further research is required to establish the
extent of control which the Chief Secretary had over this function.

After 1968 and the cessation of the system of Licensing Courts and
Licensing Magistrates, the newly established Liquor Control Commission
(VA 1110) became the responsibility of the Chief Secretary. The
Commission had authority over all aspects of liquor licensing and
control. In 1979 responsibility for liquor licensing passed to the
Minister of Labour and Industry (VRG 42).

NOTE:For a brief account of the administrative history of liquor
licensing see VRG 4 Courts for the period 1836-1968 and VRG 82
Industry, Commerce and Technology for the period 1968 to the present."

Hope this may help a little.
